Below is a poem
from one of my books, The New Kid on the Block. I encourage
you to read the poem and use it as a model when you start working
on my poetry challenge. As you read, you can listen to me recite
the poem  and hear truly amazing sound effects.

Louder Than
a Clap of Thunder

Louder than
a clap of thunder,
louder than an eagle screams,
louder than a dragon blunders, or
a dozen football teams,
louder than a four alarmer,
or a rushing waterfall,
louder than a knight in armor
jumping from a ten-foot wall.
Louder than an earthquake rumbles,
louder than a tidal wave,
louder than an ogre grumbles
as he stumbles through his cave,
louder than stampeding cattle,
louder than a cannon roars,
louder than a giant's rattle,
that's how loud my father SNORES!
